Delta had a tire blow in Madrid on a 767 that punched a hole right through the wing. Took out two of the 3 hydraulics systems, nosewheel steering, normal and alternate brakes, limited flaps/slats and one reverser inop. It was caused by a rather large chunk of metal that somehow was cast into the tire at the time of manufacture. The statement the crew handled it well was a understatement. The landing was without most wheel brakes, on accumulator only, one reverser, limited flaps and overweight. They kept it on the paved surface until the speed dropped below 20 knots.
